Blah
Today is another day for me. I am currently 119 days from my due date. I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed, but realize I do have some time.
It December and Christmas is very close. I have a feeling most don't understand what Christmas is about. I am talking of the giving to others and not expecting a mountain of stuff in return.
This year I am making Christmas presents with various things and can't help but think that some people we give them to will not understand why we decided to give them that and not a store bought item. This is helping us get ready for next year when we start new traditions ourselves with the baby on the way. We have discussed many options, but we think spending so much on stuff that kids want and don't need is not right. Will she get stuff down the road she wants. Yes. She will also have to work towards goals to earn rewards.
I am feeling off this evening and am probably going to go back to bed, but as I contemplate motherhood, I really hope that I will be a good mom and maybe a great mom. I also hope that I give my child the independence to be who she wants to be and not what I want from her.
Today is a philosophical one. but a necessary one as well. Signing off for the next while.
